Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Ironhide's take on an RTS, and it doesn't really work. All the visual charm and genre parody in the world can't save an RTS with no depth. You would think there would be more overlap from the TDF strategy of Kingdom Rush. Games like this…”
“Boring and buggy game. Constantly spending 15 minutes on a level and then losing because the game doesn't scroll to another part of the map. What a waste of money”
